    I got an email to say it was now working, and followed the link to the online document. However, the document implies Set up is only on iOS devices - has someone got this working with the setup taking place on an Android device? Is there a particular version of Assistance or Home that is needed? Maybe it has not propagated to my device yet.

    I absolutely love that you've added Google Home Support. Thrilled how easy it was to setup and how well it works.

    Will there be a topic in the forum for this integration so we can ask questions?

    One challenge i've noticed is with the 8 port switch and a fan controller. It seems that the best way is to use the scenes that the 8 port switch controls vs the actual devices. When you say google turn on the fan in the master bed room it turns on both the fan and the light. By using the scene that is active on button b and the scene on button a it seems to handle the different devices better.

    I've also noticed google thinks she can dim the lights and the inteon app responds but the light doesn't change brightness.

    Kudos to the developers getting this going ... makes my google home mini i got for Christmas an even better gift!

    They wouldn't have known nor would they have been allowed to say even if they did.

    Is there any chance of somehow getting Google Home to work with 2242? I needed 2242 because of X10.

    I just joined to say thanks to the devs for supporting this. It's working pretty seamlessly for me, but for some reason I can't get Google to recognize scenes with Possessive names. Things like "Chris's Lamp" are confusing it. And when I gave it the nickname "my lamp" in the home app, and ask Google to turn on "My Lamp" it turns on both my lamp and my wife's lamp.. Weird. I think that's a google problem. I've tried removing the apostrophe and calling it "Chris lamp" and stuff, still no dice. My other scenes are working great. I love how new devices and scenes show up instantly in the google enviroment without me having to do anything to refresh or add them.

    Thanks for trying out the integration.

    Control of a single light is supported, as well as control of a whole room.

    In some cases, I have seen Google Assistant control a room instead of a single light when the names are similar. For example, if I have lights "Family Room 1" and "Family Room 2" both inside a room named "Family Room", Google Home would turn on the entire room when I say "Turn on Family Room 1."

    In your case, are your lights named in a similar way to the room that might be confusing Google Assistant? If so, Google Assistant supports device nicknames, or you can customize your room names. Google Home rooms are not tied to Insteon rooms, so you can change and play with them as you want.

    Hopefully this helps!
    Tried it and it works great!

    So happy to see this integration come together! I seem to be having a tough time controlling individual switches though, and my garage door opener does not show as a device.. I can control entire rooms no problem, but would love some help on how to get google to simply turn on one light in the room..?

    INSTEON IS NOW NATIVELY SUPPORTED IN GOOGLE HOME !! ENJOY !

    http://www.insteon.com/support-knowledgebase/


    Just link the service under Home Control. Ensure you assign a room and nickname to each device.

    IMPORTANT: Disable all IFTTT/HARMONY workarounds you may have setup in the interim.

    Google can turn on/off and dim any light switch or plug now without the IFTTT workaround !!

    I would like to invite those on this thread to a sneak peak of our Google Home integration. We have released support for Google Home as part of a soft launch - we will be sending out an official announcement next week. Please give it a go and let us know what you think as well as share tips and tricks with others here. Thank you all for your patience! Happy New Year!
